Divine Seal: I am a saintess of the human race, but also the heir to the Demon God.

Chapter 23 The Holy Alliance's Chosen Darling

The members of the alliance beamed with joy. They put down what they were doing and crowded around Ling Xiao, vying to see the blurry image projected onto the screen.

As they watched, they praised Bai Ling in the projection for her strong talent and good looks, saying that with Ling Xiao's careful guidance, she would surely achieve something just like Ling Xiao.

Seeing everyone praising the Priest Temple, Lin Chen, the deputy temple master of the Magic Temple, said irritably, "Why didn't you old scoundrels praise the geniuses produced by our temple just now?"

Their magic temple also has some freshly made geniuses!
blatant discrimination!
Sanshui, who disliked the smell of men and didn't squeeze in with the old men, sat quietly in his seat, resting his chin on his hand.

She turned to look at Lin Chen, her eyes full of disdain, and said, "The priest's temple has produced a saintess, which means that the mortality rate of the younger generation of demon hunters will drop significantly. Throughout history, healers have always been respected by warriors."

Apart from the Soul Temple and the Magic Temple, the professionals in the other three temples all need to engage in close-quarters combat with the demons.

One wrong move and you could lose an arm or a leg, suffer a chronic illness, leave the Demon Hunter Corps, and be relegated to a branch in a small or medium-sized city as an instructor to spend the rest of your life. That would be considered a good outcome.

Most of them died on the battlefield due to excessive blood loss or the inability to be healed a second time by a priest who had exhausted their resources.

However, it would be different if the team had a powerful, healing-skill-wielding Saintess of Light, as powerful as the Goddess of Life.

To some extent, warriors, knights, and assassins blessed by the saintess can engage in close combat with demons without reservation.

It's a well-known fact that a demon hunter team can do without a mage, but it cannot do without a healing priest.

Therefore, among the alliance of the six temples, apart from the Knight Temple which has always held the top spot, Ling Xiao, as the Priest Temple, can be said to be an existence that no one dares to provoke.

It can be said that most of the members of the Priest Temple are the most beloved members of the group, partners who are protected by everyone until their last breath and cannot be abandoned.

It is said that long ago, a demon hunter squad leader became dissatisfied with the priest in his squad who was weak and slow.

Therefore, when this eccentric demon-hunting team encountered an insurmountable enemy, the captain and the rest of the team actually chose to abandon the priest and turn around and run away.

They survived.

The consequences of abandoning the priests would be a turmoil that neither they, nor the higher-ups of the other five temples, could bear.

Sanshui's words left Lin Chen speechless.

He touched his nose, flashed the same smile as Lin Xin, and said awkwardly, "Why did you bring that up out of the blue? I almost forgot about it..."

"All right."

The ninth-rank Divine Seal Knight of the Knight Temple, who guards the Imperial Dragon Pass and possesses the Divine Seal Throne of Order and Law, Long Yintian signaled the noisy crowd to quiet down via the large screen.

“Sanshui is right. A Holy Maiden of Light Priest with six wings is of vital importance to the entire alliance. She will be the pillar of our plan to destroy the demon god.”

Although Long Yintian was a projection attending the temporary meeting, no one dared to speak out of turn when he spoke.

Upon hearing Elder Long's words, Ling Xiao, as the temple master of the priest's temple, immediately turned off the projection, clasped his hands together, and adopted a posture of quiet listening.

Everyone returned to their seats.

Long Yintian nodded and said, "Since Haoyue City has produced two geniuses from the Holy Temple in succession, causing quite a stir, I am worried that Bai Meng and the Star Moon Demon God from the Demon Clan might use celestial phenomena to..."

Sometimes, you don't need to say everything; everyone knows what to do.

Holy Moon of the Assassin's Temple was the first to stand up and say, "In the name of the Assassin's Temple, I hereby swear that I will bring back the outstanding talents of the Magic Temple and the Priest Temple to the Alliance safely."

Seeing that the old man intended to personally take charge, Ling Xiao restrained himself from going through the teleportation portal to Haoyue City to meet the Holy Maiden.

She stood up, bowed slightly, and smiled, "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Saint Moon, to make the trip."

"It's alright." Sheng Yue stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I happen to be going there on my way and have some personal business to attend to."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Long Yintian took the lead in giving a knightly salute and proclaimed loudly, "All for the sake of humanity!"

Everyone stood up and said in unison, "All for humanity!"

"The meeting is dismissed!"

*
Bright Moon City, a branch of the Magic Temple.

Bai Ling, who absorbed the Awakening Stone of Light Element, can be described as a seraphim who strayed from the Kingdom of Angels into the mortal world.

Her clothes had long since transformed into shimmering gauze skirts, imbued with the spiritual power of the priests' temple's faith in the saints and saints of all ages.

This kind of spiritual power is completely different from the spiritual power that steadily grows within a professional's body.

It is sustainable, storable, and ten thousand times stronger than the magic temple's exclusive staff.

With it, Bai Ling can get a significant boost when casting Priest Temple skills.

Simply put, one healing spell cast by Bai Ling is equivalent to three or four healing spells cast by other priests.

This is not over yet.

Because of the appearance of the Veil of Faith, the two completely different and opposing bloodlines of the Demon Dragon and Light within Bai Ling's body seem to have reached a consensus and will not interfere with each other.

One wanders in the spiritual energy, the other curls up in the meridians.

Bai Ling was very satisfied with this.

Once a balance is achieved in her bloodline, it will bring her unexpected benefits.

For example, as long as Bai Ling doesn't do anything reckless or act irrationally.

Even if Long Yintian personally came to Haoyue City and came into close contact with her, he would not be able to discover that she was a half-human, half-demon.

Without this constraint, Bai Ling is like a hungry wolf without shackles, its sharp teeth worn down, able to release its spiritual power without reservation.

Lin Jing rubbed his eyes and carefully examined the gauze dress that Bai Ling was wearing, which seemed to move around.

"The priest's long-held faith has coalesced into shimmering silk, which is said to be able to change its size and material form at will, and is proof that the priest's temple recognizes the saint's presence in the world."

The learned Lin Jing turned to Madam Shen and said in despair, "It's over. If the people from the Priest's Temple find out that Bai Ling is here, the consequences will be unimaginable."

His subtext was that he wanted to compete with the priest's temple for people, and that he and Madam Shen were not qualified enough.

Madam Shen looked at Lin Jing expressionlessly and shook her head: "President Lin, I've said it before, being blindly conservative is not a good thing. Back then, you were clearly radical..."

"Cough cough cough."

Lin Jing interrupted Madam Shen and looked at Bai Ling: "Miss Bai Ling, you have proven to us that you have the talent for dual cultivation, or even triple cultivation. In that case, would you be willing to become our councilor first, go to the Magic Temple to cultivate for a period of time, and then consider going to other temples to study?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Ling with a nervous expression.

Bai Ling thought for a moment and gave a clear answer.

"President Lin, I..."
